I lost my motivation and dropped out.
It was fun at the beginning but as the tasks were becoming harder, I noticed that it became difficult for me to keep up. Since it takes so long to get an answer from the tutor I lost my motivation and dropped out.
I didn't improve my knowledge!
I didn’t like it at all! Their prices are a rip off considering what they offer. I have a B1 in Spanish and wanted to continue my education using this company. They started sending me tasks for beginners that I could do easily. I thought okay the start must be easy in order to not turn away clients with difficulty. But I went through half of the course and still was getting easy tasks! I didn’t improve my knowledge one jota!
I'm not sure they even read it.
Since they don’t do anything for you but give an advice, it’s no cheating in any way.
I feel like I paid too much. They gave me some generic tips and repeatedly told me how good my thesis was. I’m not sure they even read it.

I couldn't receive help when I most needed it.
I asked tutoring to help me with trigonometry since I couldn’t keep up with the rest of the class and I did recall some fundamentals that helped me.
But the turnaround time is significant and a couple of times I couldn’t receive help when I most needed it.
Time4writing.com is a teaching and tutoring website and not a writing service per se. It focuses on academic writing, but only via a type of online coursework for students to develop their writing skills. We have received a few requests for a Time 4 Writing review, especially from students who want to know if it is worth the money. So, we reviewed the entire website, the posted testimonials, customer reviews we found on the web (parents and high school students), pricing, etc. finally, we ordered a student curriculum package to evaluate quality and usefulness.
Advertised Products and Services
Basically, Time4Writing offers writing courses for students in K-12 grades. It does not provide any college level products or services. At the elementary and middle school levels, focus in on helping parents teach their kids to write well, and this seems to be appealing to parents who home school their children. The high school products and services are geared specifically to those students, not their parents.
Quality of Products/Writers
Obviously, Time4Writing.com does not employ writers, so we can only talk about product quality. We looked primarily at feedback and reviews that parents and students posted on the web and at the writing package we ordered. Here is what we found:
- Parent comments ranged from average to wonderful, although this disparity seemed to be a factor of the variance in teachers.
- We also found some Time 4 Writing reviews from high school students who had purchased packages and coursework. Some seemed happy, while others felt they had wasted their money. Again, the disparity in comments seemed to relate to the teachers they had.
- We purchased a high school curriculum package, which was pretty reasonable. Whether it would be used by a parent in a home school situation or by a student himself, the curriculum assumed skills that these parents and students might not have.
Customer Support/Service
There is no real customer support. Customers (parents or students) deal specifically with the teachers involved. We did find good teacher profiles, including specific degrees and universities, as well as teaching experience.
And the company does have a BBB membership, with only a few complaints. Clearly, this service is not a fraud or scam.
Pricing/Discounts
Time4Writing prices are set and consistent, whether customers are purchasing tutoring sessions or curriculum packages. There are no discounts, coupon codes for special pricing events, or any type of promo code for a new customer. Overall, prices are in line with other such services on the web.
Additional Benefits
In short, there are none. This company provides what it says, at the price it has established. The tutoring sessions do result in teacher feedback that is quick, and parents seemed to appreciate that.
Final Verdict
It is impossible to provide a rating that compares this service with the other writing services we review. Products and services are just not comparable. If we look at pros & cons, though, we can see an obvious “con,” in the apparent variety of quality based on teachers.
Students who are looking for a writing service for help with essays, papers, and other academic writing will not find it at Time4Writing.com.
